- Abstract:
- Williamson type ether reactions were
utilized for a high yield reaction of 49-chloro-2,29:69,299-terpyridine
with a,x-dihydroxy-functionalized poly(ethylene
oxide) and poly(oxytetramethylene)s to obtain bis(terpyridine)-
terminated telechelics. The completeness of the
functionalization was proven by NMR spectroscopy, GPC
and MALDI-TOF-MS investigations. The addition of
transition metal ions resulted in a polyaddition polymerization
leading to the formation of extended metallo-supramolecular
polymers, as proven by UV/VIS spectroscopy
titration experiments.
